Federation passes two motions
Members of Huron County Federation of
Agriculture, at their annual meeting held
in Ontario St. United Church Hall, Clin-
ton, Thursday evening last, unanimously
passed two resolutions submitted by the
Resolutions Committee consisting of James
McIntosh, Tuckersmith; Arthur Bolton,
McKillop; and Allan Turnbull, Grand
Bend.
One stated that "whereas farmers have
experienced drastic price increases in fer-
tilizer in the past twelve months, may it be
resolved that Ontario Federation of
Agriculture looks into the pricing of fer-
tilizer, specifically the profit margins of
manufacturers, distributors, etc."
The other resolution was a little longer:
"Whereas Ontario beef producers are ex-
periencing severe financial difficulties; and
whereas there is no indication of any price

Dr. Donald J. Blackburn, the main
speaker, teaches courses in rural develop-
ment and extension education at the
University of Guelph, and also conducts
research projects in Program Planning and
Rural Development.
He was introduced to the gathering by
Donald Pullen who stated he had been one
of. his students at Guelph and much ad-
mired him.
Dr. Blackburn, with the aid of cartoon
slides, \nrged his hearers to become in-
volved n government decision-making.
"I think we in Ontario are undergoing
some major evolutionary pressures," he
declared. "We want to have more to say,
more dialogue!'
He declared that there is no better way
of discovering inadequacies or unforeseen
circumstances than by using public par-
ticipation in our society.
Dr. Blackburn was 'thanked by Adrian
Vos, first vice-president.
Mrs. Audrey Stanley, secretary-
improvement in the foreseeable future; and
whereas the depressed beef prices are the
result of oversupply to market; and
whereas Governments seem unwilling to
provide any significant relief for beef
producers;
"And whereas products from dead and
disabled livestock are sold commercially
and are competing with marketable
livestock; and whereas many Ontario far-
mers are looking to the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture for leadership in meeting
this crisis;
"Therefore, be it resolved that the OFA
organize, develop and coordinate a
programme to withhold all dead 'and
disabled livestock from commercial
markets; also, that we encourage Ontario
Beef Improvement Association to assist in
implementing this programme."

Chinchilla baths
Chinchillas like to keep
clean, but they take their baths
in sand or dust, so commercial
chinchilla breeders ensure
bright clean pelts by placing
small boxes of sand or
powdered clay in each cage.
WITH ADRIAN VOS
The Kitchener-Waterloo
Region needs water and lots of
it. 'Their mushrooming growth
demands it for domestic and in,
clustrial use. Canada is , the
country with the most of this
resource in the entire world.
Howe\ er, instead of looking to
the, great lakes, they want to
dam the Nith river in Oxford
county, flood about 9,000 acres
of choice crop land and pipe it
into their system,
I happen to know the Nith
river and all through the sum-
mer there is about as much
water in it as in a good sized
creek. At best it would just help
out a little bit and then they
would still have to go to a Lake
Erie pipeline. It seems from
here that people don't care one
bit about food producing land
until they themselves are hit,
But I bet that they are the
same people who holler loudest
about higher food prices,
Luckily there are some in
government opposing the move,
notably Ag. Minister Stewart
and Environment Minister
Newman. Let's hope that their
views prevail. •
Just to show how efficient
Ontario's farmers have become,
Ontario's farmland declined
from 3.5 acres per person in
1941 to 1.4 acres now, but farm
production is higher now than
it ever was. One shouldn't
think however that there is no
limit to what the farmer can
do. If the revived plan for a
power plant in Huron county
would he approved, it would
certainly mean that due to in-
creased traffic pollution, hun,
dreds of acres of white bean
land will have to be shifted to
other less protein producing
crops.
It bothers me some that the
struggle to preserve land is left
largely to the farmers )and that
the people in the towns and
cities, who will be the first to be
hurt, are not heard from when
,food production is threatened,
The Consumers AsrAociation of
Canada devotes a good deal of
their time in fighting farmers
for lower food prices, but forget
the struggle to protect the base
of food production.
How about it you towns-
people that read this column,
can't you persuade your
Church or your organization to
help fight the unnecessary ur-
ban sprawl and loss of food
producing land?
With 13 members present
and a guest, 'Beta Sigma Phi

Mary Ann Yates near Bayfield,
The opening ritual was

mas party to be held at the
